About the CTSI

The NIH has created a national consortium that will transform how clinical and translational research is conducted, ultimately enabling researchers to provide new treatments more efficiently and quickly to patients. Led by NCRR, this new consortium, funded through Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs), begins with Academic Health Centers (AHCs) located throughout the nation. Additional AHCs are receiving planning grants to help them prepare applications to join the consortium.

In 2006, The University of Southern California partnered with leading academic, clinical and community organizations in central Los Angeles to establish the Los Angeles Basin Clinical and Translational Science Institute (LAB-CTSI), using the NIH CTSA model. With this robust partnership, the LAB-CTSI strives to become a pre-eminent clinical and translational science institute that will improve health in the diverse urban environment of Los Angeles and, in doing so, gain knowledge that we can share with others to improve health in urban settings and megacities across the globe.
